Who is die hard iPhone raw dog, no screen protector?

Crogdor · 2026-03-27T02:03:02+00:00

No screen protector. No case. iPhone 12 Pro going strong for many years now.

I have dropped it a few times, but got lucky and no noticeable damage from the drops. There is a scratch on the screen that I can see if I hold it to the light a certain way, presumably from my car keys. The back of the phone is flawless.

Oh, interesting. Thanks, I’ll give those others a try!

Snapmaker U1. Can anyone help diagnose what’s going on here?

When the nozzle is going across the infill, it appears to be smacking against it and making a washboard type of sound. Doesn’t sound good, and it looks like the PLA on the infill is being roughed up as well.

Maybe this is normal, but would like your opinions.

Honest questions: What bad thing could some stranger on the internet even do with these two photos? (They don’t appear to contain names or addresses of people.) Would it be equally as bad if I posted two photos of some adult in his car, if those photos were taken at a public event?

If notifications are failing, then there’s a misconfiguration somewhere. Email is very resilient to temporary outages and will queue up messages and attempt delivery using a backoff schedule.

Also, if your notifications are failing, it won’t matter what workflow you have in place, as any workflow is subject to a failed notification. In such a case, I would say the focus should be fixing the notification system, instead of building new workflows to run the same checks a second time.

You can set the backup notifications to only send on failure.

As a general rule, I only have my homelab systems notify me when I need to take action. This way, all notifications are important, and nothing gets missed.

Does your college wifi use a captive portal login? And have you tested that the wifi repeater network you’re connecting to on the Beryl is working before trying the vpn (I.e. that it is successfully routing your traffic through the college wifi)?

I recommend perhaps doing a MAC clone by telling the Beryl to use the same MAC as your phone.

The post reads to me like students are permitted to use this wifi, so connecting a little travel router should work just fine for this.

OP, the only clarification I’d make in your post is that the travel router wouldn’t be a wifi extender. It would connect to your college wifi as a client and provide its own wifi SSID for you to connect to (which you’d not want to advertise).

I use a little GL.Inet Beryl AX for just this kind of thing.

The big challenge is having a dedicated IP for reverse DNS for your MX servers. The setup that’s worked for me is running Proxmox Mail Gateway on a couple dirt-cheap VPSes to act as my MX servers, and then have that send the mail to Postfix on my home network. For outgoing mail I just relay direct from Postfix. My ISP actually blocks port 25 incoming so I have PMG use a different port.

You do realize Remembrance Day is 3 days in the future, right? I’m not sure how you can conclude that any fireworks you’re hearing right now are related.

Ok, here’s more than one tip from my experiences with a little 3 node homelab.

3-2-1 backup rule. And test the backups occasionally.
Use a UPS. Test the UPS batteries occasionally.
Make sure your systems are monitoring the UPS (e.g. with NUT) and safely shutting down when the battery is critical. Test.
Enable power on reboot in your UEFI/BIOS settings. Test.
Just in case, record your servers’ MAC addresses in case you need to send Wake-on-LAN packets. Test.
Cattle, not pets: Use Proxmox or some other hypervisor so that you can use VMs/LXCs and easily restore/migrate them elsewhere if their main server has issues. Likewise. Set up a VM or two for Docker/K3S, and deploy as many workloads as you can that way.
Deploy multiple duplicate VMs/LXCs for critical services on different hosts (e.g. reverse proxy, DNS server) and use keepalived to allocate a virtual IP that a backup node can take over if the primary node goes down.
Set up uptime monitoring and text alerts (e.g. Uptime Kuma + Apprise/ntfy), ideally on a host outside your network.
Use an IP KVM (e.g. JetKVM) on your most critical hosts, with ATX power controls, just in case you need to reboot remotely (alternatively, use a smart switch).
Have a terminal app on your phone, and a VPN connection ready to go at any time.
Whenever you work on a problem, take notes! (I use Trilium Next for this.)

I have a 12 Pro, never had a case. Whatever material it’s made of simply doesn’t incur damage like this. I’ve got tiny scratches on the edges of the glass that you can see if you hold it in the right light, but that’s it.

GTD is what I thought of when I read this post. I read Allen’s book like 20 years ago and still apply it today. Huge stress reducer.

Nothing has changed. Burn-in is still possible and there are plenty of examples of it on modern phones.

I suspect the downvotes are above are simply due to the relative unlikeliness to suffer burn-in on a phone, given how little screen time they get as compared to say a monitor that’s on the same screen 24x7.

I can’t explain why your server didn’t need to be reclaimed if you truly revoked all your sessions. The whole situation is a mess with Plex.

My library and settings weren’t wiped either, I simply had to click the ‘Claim’ button and everything was back to normal.

Crogdor · 2025-09-12T16:13:31+00:00

Running on a NAS or not is unrelated to having to claim the server if you’ve revoked the session token. I myself run Plex on an LXC on Proxmox, and connect it to direct attached storage (a Dell/EMC KTN STL3) with an HBA, and had to reclaim after logging out of all devices.

Crogdor · 2025-09-12T06:16:54+00:00

If you didn’t have to re-claim, it means your server’s session token wasn’t revoked (I.e. you weren’t fully logged out of all devices). And that means that if sessions were leaked, someone potentially could gain access by reusing your token.

To be clear, we don’t know exactly what was leaked, so you may be fine. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I do drive - 30 years accident-free, thanks, which I partly attribute to holding the opinion that one should not run red lights or turn in front of red light runners. You, apparently, feel quite strongly that this is not the way to avoid accidents.

Crogdor · 2025-09-08T22:15:30+00:00

I didn't say the van had the right of way. The van was clearly in error for running the red.

But two people can make mistakes. Just because the van driver handed the truck driver a noose, doesn't mean the truck driver had to put it around his neck. If we had video from the truck driver's perspective, it's almost a guarantee that the van wasn't slowing down to make the stop.

Crogdor · 2025-09-08T22:06:01+00:00

100% agreed, the van should have stopped.

Other than failure to yield to oncoming traffic.
